Re: Best Seller Publishing
What Victoria Said. Best Seller is the publishing equivalent of "Make Money Fast."
As far as I can tell, their most prominent book is
The World's Best Kept Health Secret Revealed, which is basically a collection of 50 essays extolling the wonders of chiropractic, written by 50 different chiropractors. Here's what makes the book special:
The book is just the first part of the innovative program that could turn thousands of doctors into published book authors. ...
What makes the book unique is that every doctor of chiropractic has the opportunity become a published author. Doctors can buy into the program for a fee, which covers professional editing of their chapter, as well as a print run of 400 books. The books will be available through Amazon.com and other well known book dealers.
Being the author of a book creates a tremendous amount of instant credibility. That's why so many "experts" are identified by the number of books they've written. "Books can establish their authors as experts, create an increased demand for a company's products and services, solidify customer loyalty, and distinguish the authors from the competition," said book publisher Pola Firestone in an article for the Kansas City Star.
That is, the chiropractor writes his own little chapter, then these guys polish it up for him and sell him 400 copies of the book with his chapter bound into it. It's a prop to help establish his credibility with naive clients, whether or not he succeeds in selling them a copy.
Isn't that cute? Lori Prokop's name is all over the project. It looks like she's the organizer. The only contact number on the page is hers.
Speaking of Make Money Fast, Ms. Prokop's associate
Willie Crawford of Crawford Marketing Consultants trots out every cliche you've ever seen used in MMF spam letters:
My friends and I would like to share with you how to finally begin making really incredible money online. We just finished recording the amazingly empowering Internet Marketing Power Workshop and I know that the information in the video and audio tapes from the event can make a real difference in your online efforts. The tapes will FINALLY show you step-by-step how to make major profits.
We show and explain exactly how we accomplish some incredible feats and in the process generate millions of dollars! ...
We literally tell you how we run our day to day businesses and make incredible profits.
We demonstrate that you can do it too, and share with you those little things most online marketers completely miss. Those little things are what make the difference between earning $50,000 a year and earning $300,000 or even several million dollars a year.
Many people will never achieve that level of success simply because they can't believe that it can be done. When you see and hear people describe actually doing it, that changes what you know that you CAN DO TOO!
It reeks of scammer. And Lori Prokop is one of the featured speakers.
To get a sense of this woman's internet footprint, just Google on
"best seller publishing" prokop. It's all stuff like:
"How To Make A Fortune With The Inner Circle Secrets To The World of Licensing!", and
"Give Me 4 Days & I'll Give You The Tools To A Successful Internet Moneymaking Business" / "If You Need Extra Money Right Now Your Home Computer Could Be A Goldmine". That latter one links to a
subpage about Lori Prokop, with a photo and everything. It says:
You'll learn Lori Prokop's Product Development system so you can create multiple streams of income by replicating this product development system over-and-over again (you'll be shocked to learn how quickly and easily this system can produce products you can sell for thousands of dollars). ... Lori is host and the lady behind the Best Seller Publishing events.
You can also find a lot of information about Lori Prokop at ... you gotta see this URL ...
www.marketers-hall-of-fame.com/7-sheer-genius/lori-prokop.html. Almost all the books mentioned there are about how to make big money in marketing. That's one of the basic scams: Let us sell you our infallible system for making big money by selling things to other people.
In short, Lori Prokop might as well have a giant neon sign over her head that says
SNAKE OIL SALESMAN. Do not go near her. Consider not going near anyone who's associated with her in any way. Except for KitKat, of course.
